Now that its confirmed I'm just wondering if anyone is going to the Friendly in Vienna next Saturday? I'll be in Vienna for a few days until Sunday and for sure will be at the game if anyone is up to meetup either there or earlier in Vienna.

Sadly not, would have loved to have been though. I await your match report DB.

[Dubai Blue]

Sorry you can't make it. I'd better be paying close attention then

[Bluemike]

Ok this is doing my head in, somebody please look at the video on Facebook of the players getting off the coach and tell me the guy after Donacien isn't George Hirst cus I'm trying to work out who the hell it is and the likeness to Hirst is clear.

It did look like him we might find out tonight.

Its Burges - has KB on his top.

EDIT: blows my own theory out, why would it be KB and not CB.....erm, a coach perhaps?

EDIT EDIT! sorry I see now, yes it DOES look like Hirst, I'm also confused now!!

[Bluemike]

It's deffo not Burgess.

[hallamblue]

Where’s this video then?

Where’s this video then?

On the Town Facebook page.

[hallamblue]

Ah ok thanks for that

That’s exactly what a couple of other Town fans suggested earlier this afternoon.

Can't stop looking at it but I think you may actually be right with Burgess, possibly changed his hair.

Intriguing..... will have to take my binoculars for the friendly on Saturday.

Anyone else going by the way?

The new keeper Cieran Slicker from comments I've seen.

[Bluemike]

Really? Crikey he's changed in a couple of days. Oh well we still await some new faces.

Of course! Well done!

[Bluemike]

I can't see it's him, nothing like the picture of Slicker in a Town shirt the day we signed him.

Looks like him, to be fair he really looks like Hirst here.

[Bluemike]

Yep very similar but that probably confirms it. Oh well a bit of fun while it lasted, now get your finger out Ashton lol

[hallamblue]

I’d say the longer it goes the more likely it is we are after players connected in some way to PL clubs or recently relegated PL clubs. When do they have to declare their 25 squad

I'd assume 1st Sept when the transfer window shuts? Obv you declare before but can edit as needed until the transfer windows closes.

[hallamblue]

Blimey have we got all this charade until Sept 1st!!

[Dubai Blue]

Yep, saw that. Thanks for the concern though. Enjoying Vienna for a few days first

[Bluemike]

Town's team for first friendly this morning.....

Town: Hladky, Donacien, Woolfenden, Evans, Davis, Luongo, Humphreys, Harness, Aluko, Broadhead, Jackson.

[Bluemike]

Try working the defence out from that lol

[Bluemike]

1-0 Town good work from Broadhead sets up Aluko who scores

[Dubai Blue]

Are you at the game?

[hallamblue]

Lol no he’s about a mile and a half down the road from me in Ipswich
